Workshop: The Human Approach to AI: Tools + Heart (CATALYST)

AI is everywhere right now. Every week there’s a new tool, a new app, or another  promise to “10x your business” with the perfect prompt.

 

That can feel exhausting, right?

 

Small business owners and solopreneurs don’t need more hype. They need practical ways to save time, spark ideas, stay competitive, and maintain authenticity in the process.

 

AI can accelerate your business. Only you can create meaning.

 

In this engaging, funny, and deeply human session, Stuart Preston shares a grounded approach to using AI without losing your voice, creativity, or connection to the people you serve. Through real stories, examples, practical tools, and honest conversations about what AI can and can’t do, audiences will learn how to use AI as an amplifier instead of a replacement.

 

This isn’t a technical lecture. And it’s not a fear-based “robots are coming” talk either.

 

It’s a refreshing conversation about staying human in a world moving faster every day.

 

 

• Practical ways to use AI in everyday business

• How to save time without sounding generic

• Why human perspective matters more than ever

• Common mistakes people make when relying too heavily on AI

• How to use AI to support creativity instead of replacing it

• Ways to build trust, connection, and authenticity in an AI-driven world

 

AI can help you move faster.

 

But heart, meaning, humor, empathy, and human connection?

That part still requires a human.

 

Lead with your heart, finish with your brain!
